Title: F250'S, 350'S and up with the 7.3 liter, Safety Recall announced Post by: Chuck_Norris on December 13, 2007, 10:26:24 AM The infamous Cranshaft position sensor that would fail in years past is now under recall. It was a common joke to always keep pne in the Glove box because you know it was going to fail one time or the other. You can contact your local Ford dealership for coverage or PM me with your VIN#.

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALLIn some of the affected vehicles, the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor may fail due to circuit degradation. If the CMP Sensor should fail, the engine may stall. In the event of an engine stall, a crash could result without warning. A new CMP Sensor with improved reliability is now available. SERVICE ACTIONDealers are to inspect the CMP Sensor to verify which design level sensor is installed in the affected vehicles, and replace all prior level sensors. This service must be performed on affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULEParts to repair this condition are currently not available in sufficient quantities to service all of the affected vehicles. Therefore, to ensure that an ample supply of parts is available, owners of affected vehicles will be notified in separate phase mailings over several months. Phase mailing will begin the week of December 17, 2007; prioritized by age of vehicle. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter. |
